Default Knock sensor byspass switch.

What is the correct resistor to use with a two way switch? I just wanna byspass the knock sensor when I'm at the track. I have the LT4 knock module, but my y-pipe hits on occasion. Oops by the way my car is a 1995 Z28. Thanks

No resister required. Just shut off the knock sensor codes and wire a toggle switch in the wire going to the knock sensor. Open that wire with the switch and you have no knock sensor.

Or, tune it correctly so it does not need a knock sensor.
